Day 4, 5, 6 - January 4 - 6, 2006

25"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you
will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more
important than food, and the body more important than clothes? 26Look at the
birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your
heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27Who of
you by worrying can add a single hour to his life[b]?
28"And why do you worry about
clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29Yet
I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of
these. 30If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today
and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of
little faith? 31So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we
drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' 32For the pagans run after all these things,
and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33But seek first his kingdom
and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.
Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Matthew 6:25-34

God has given me a peace about our finances. Although my anxiety is always rising it's ugly head, I'm trusting that God will take care of all my needs, including financial. I am confident that He will come through as He always does. Whether he provides the money directly or the means to do so, I will trust Him.

Busy working on the house, so not much time to blog this week. I hope that this house is emptied out soon and we're able to sell it quickly. Man, where did we get all of this junk the past 7 years?
